Sessions

Software Technologies	Test and Data Acquisition
What's New in LabVIEW Examine the latest NI LabVIEW features and the ways you can use them to improve your productivity and the performance of your test, control, and design applications.	Top Considerations for Optical Sensing Explore the new LabVIEW driver for fiber Bragg grating (FBG)-based measurements, top considerations for FBG measurements, and new application areas.
Finding and Analyzing Technical Data Files Using NI LabVIEW and NI DataFinder Observe how NI DataFinder technology and the new API for LabVIEW offer Internet-like search to index, search, find, and report posttest data across channels, files, and network locations.	Synchronizing Scalable Sensor Measurement Systems Gain a complete overview of synchronization for high-performance NI SC Express data acquisition (DAQ) modules. Learn about design decisions and synchronization technologies specific to the SC Express modules as well as software and hardware architectures for synchronizing large-channel-count DAQ and sensor measurement systems.
Design and Prototyping	Industrial Measurement and Control
Beyond 40 MHz: Designing for High Throughput in LabVIEW FPGA Discover how to use a different mindset to reach the full potential of field-programmable gate array (FPGA) hardware in LabVIEW FPGA. Make the FPGA do work on every clock cycle.	Understand High-Speed Data Acquisition with NI CompactRIO View a high-speed waveform architecture for CompactRIO and learn how to integrate it with other CompactRIO devices performing measurements at different rates.
Machines That Work: Advanced Motion Control Learn how to achieve enhanced performance by using the LabVIEW programming platform to replace standard control algorithms included with NI SoftMotion with your own custom-built controllers.	Hands-On: Wireless Sensor Networks Explore how to configure and program an NI wireless sensor network (WSN) using LabVIEW. Walk through ways to set up the network, extract data, and embed LabVIEW code onto measurement nodes for local decision making.
